According to Pete's press conference, they didn't find out until after the weekend game, that Rice has a bruised foot. Today he's in a boot. Pete said the Xrays all seemed fine, so no serious or long term problem, but as of today they have no idea if he'll be able to go this week.

Something to keep an eye on this week. Rice and Tate are two guys I think we really need to continue our offensive success

Pete said he couldn't say whether or not he'd play this week, only that they didn't see signs of anything serious in tests. I'd guess he will play, but he's wearing a boot today, and until that comes off there is no guarantee

It's pretty common place for athletes to wear these 'boots' for minor injuries these days. Think they pump hot and cold water around it or something. Not too familiar with them but I know a lot of the footballers over here wear them and still play at the weekend with no issues.

we need all our weapons on the road... hope he can play, if not baldwin will need to step up big time, which he's more than capable of doing... from everything i've read on the bill's, their db's arent that good..

Well, according to ESPN stats (http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics) Buffalo's Defense is pretty darn good against the pass. BUT... they stink against the run. So maybe, with or without Rice, we'll see The Beast a lot.

They have been pretty good the last four weeks against the run though...
